That won’t stand
Ketanji Brown Jackson

respectfully have to disagree, being counsel to the President is different than
just being in the exec branch
Notice all these cases end up in Rat hack judges court rooms.
Funny huh...
Nice judge shopping Pelosi. A judge named Katanji Brown Jackson is a Democrat judge who will be biased.
Ask Asian students how prejudiced Harvard is. Grades are bent to favor students of color and Asians are the wrong color.
Haven’t been to DU in about 15 years.
They are just as clueless now as they were then.
“... wait til they demand that Conan the Dog testifies before Congress..because hey, he might know something”.
Conan could very well be called up. He was in the White House today right next to Trump. He could have heard something...phone call, conversations whatever. Its better than some direct evidence for sure. Sarc
